One of the pillars of Digital India is to provide pan-India internet access through broadband highways. In sync to this, BharatNet is being successfully executed to provide optical fiber connection to 2,50,000 Gram Panchayats by 2019. Some experts have suggested that India can leverage its current cable infrastructure to provide last mile internet access via cable lines and ensure internet for all.

In this regard, MyGov is inviting citizens of India to give suggestions on policy and technology infrastructure that can lead to this access revolution, fulfilling the below-mentioned objectives
1) What are the possibilities from policy and technology perspective to maximize the usage of our cable network?
2) What are the potential challenges that could emerge in this process?
3) On comparing opportunities to challenges, does this emerge as a viable option?

Dear sir, I suggest to make new news channel in all state in their regional language. It's helpful to know the normal people of central govt planing, achievement etc.This is also stop the state govt getting benefit instead of central govt. Some political party use public channel like their ambassador. One central govt news channel can helps normal people giving true information.

I am a ncc cadet with 57 up bn ncc unnao It is suggested that rather than repeatedly carrying out plantation drive in schools nd colleges during monsoons , tha district magistrates should be asked to identify and provide govt. wasteland or reclamed land for afforestation. This will increase our green bely considerably

1) Access to technology and internet even in its basic form should be made available as much as possible. Implementation to provide access to the internet which includes dial-up (in rural areas), Cable in small cities, Fibre optic in smart cities and metros. 2) The monopoly of few organizations as it has happened in the telecom sector. unwillingness and politicking by a big telecom operator. 3) Cable is a viable option for last mile access.

1) give subsidiary to operators and define cable network internet access policy as well as cable network operations guidelines 2) Potential challenges that could emerge is the overdependence on private cable operators who can go on strike and affect internet connection or monopolize it 3) cable network is surely viable option as it does not require extra cable laying cost except a router/modem which can be securely pre-configured and installed with end to end IPSEC encryption

Village schools should have public libraries or knowledge center where ethernet connections and wifi can be provided to users whi own a laptop , More importantly inappropriate websites should be blocked to ensure that it is used judiciously

The other most important problem is the supply of electricity in the remote parts all the time IE,24*7 so that everyone in the remote areas can use it . But this thing is not happening in India and as it is terrain it is different in all parts of the country and cable are not to be an optimal solution for remote parts,as they might be good solution for urban areas.

There is no point of Broadband provision over cable when world is moving towards WiFi & LiFi, I suggest to remove this "Cable" precondition.Following are the suggestions 1) Instead of cable UHF channels can be used for broadband which will be lower the capex on consumer as well as ISP end. 2) It will avoid the capex involved in cable laying & other aging & wear & tears, also better service availability. 3) already mentioned broadband over UHF is more viable option than cable
